Portable Tank

A portable tank is a block that stores a large amount of a fluid.

Obtaining

A placed portable tank can be instantly picked up by dismantling it with a
wrench. Its stored fluid and configuration are preserved in
the item. It can also be mined using a
pickaxe, though this can be much
slower.

Usage

Manual usage

Fluids can be put in and taken out of a portable tank using
buckets or other items that can hold
fluids.

Configuration

A portable tank can be configured by using a multimeter on
it while sneaking, which opens the tank’s GUI. Some aspects of the tank can also
be configured without opening the GUI.

Input and output

Fluids can enter and exit a portable tank through its sides.

A placed portable tank can automatically transfer fluids out of the bottom. This
is called auto-output. Auto-output can be enabled in the tank’s GUI, or by using
a wrench. When a portable tank is placed on top of another
portable tank, auto-output is enabled automatically for the upper tank.

A placed portable tank can be locked to only accept the fluid it currently
holds, even when it becomes empty. This can be toggled in the tank’s GUI, or by
using it while sneaking.

Item form

A portable tank in item form can be filled and emptied using a fluid
transposer. It can be used on placed portable tanks to
move fluids around. It can also be used to more quickly craft things that
require fluids to craft, like signalum blend.

Redstone control

A placed portable tank may be configured to respond to
redstone signals. It can be in one
of three modes:

Ignored

Redstone control is disabled. When auto-output is enabled, the tank outputs
fluid whenever possible. This is the default mode.

Low

When auto-output is enabled, the tank outputs fluid when not powered. When
powered, it stops outputting fluid.

High

When auto-output is enabled, the tank only outputs fluid when powered.

The current mode can be set using the Redstone Control tab in the portable
tank’s GUI.
